Chapter 83 Auction 4

Part 1

Akasha...?

It is a familiar name. I once again check the giant humanoid brought on stage.

I squint for a while and observe the giant and finally remember after looking at it for a few seconds.

It was the huge Golem that attacked us in the meadow.

I didn’t notice it because the strange mark on its head has disappeared and I only saw it at a very close distance.

But why is it being exhibit for the auction? After fighting against Liz, it should have been left in the meadow as it couldn’t be moved.

A large and heavy prey is usually carried with the magic 『Float (Floating) 』 of a Mage. In the case you can’t use this solution, it is a pity but there is no other choice than leaving it.

When a monster is defeated outside of the city, it is implicit that the material of the monsters belongs to the person who defeated. In the case where the person who defeat it doesn’t bring it back, the ownership is transferred to the next person who discovered it.

I don’t know who it is, but I wonder if it was someone who found it and brought it back to the city after Liz left it there.

But this isn’t just a doll, it is a Golem.

I was definitively attacked by it. It was the kind of thing I never want to see again. I am not going to claim ownership after all this, but I would like you crush it and destroy it, if it is possible.

Is there a lot of people who liked it? With a starting price of thirty million Gils, the bidding price raised the fastest today.

I have no idea what its value is. If I could buy just a Golem that cost so much money, then I would rather like to buy Relics.

I am disappointed when I finally decide to participate in the auction for a Relic, I got this. When all my impulse has been killed, I heard Liz talking to Sytry.

“Syt, that is...”

“... U, un.”

Sytry opens her eyes and her shoulder trembles. It is there that I start to notice that Sytry attitude is strange.

Sytry who is always calm has a particular expression when she is looking at the black Golem. She tightly grasps my hands who was on my lap.

The auction is on fire. Maybe because there was someone who wanted it at any cost, there was two bidder who are raising the price. The bidding is already over one hundred million and the auctioneer voice’s is fired up.

Sytry is an Alchemist... Which means she is an expert in Golem. Do you have any thought on it?

“You want it?”

“......N, no.”

After a brief silent, Sytry slowly shakes her head. But both bidders are rich.

The introvert Sytry doesn’t say a lot about her own opinion. Especially in the case where her opinion is opposite to mine, she always tends to step down.

Perhaps she noticed my thought with my line of sight, Sytry says in a soft voice as if to make an excuse. However, behind her words there was strong emotions hidden behind.

“Tha, that... Was... Made over many years... And the cost to make it through trial and error was enormous but... That isn’t... something that important... To me...”

In the first place, it is Sytry’s money...

“...... Eh?”

Sytry widely opens her eyes when she hears my words. I wonder if Sytry though that I would give priority over what I wanted rather than her tears.

You don’t believe in me too much. Sytry should show a little more of her desire.

Liz who is always showing her desire on the surface and leading a stress-free life is opening her eyes.

“Eh? Don’t tell me... Cry-chan, you good!”

“...... However, magic organization are always up to no good.”

I put some strength in Sytry’s trembling finger. She is watching at the stage as if she was going to be wolf down. Sytry’s behavior reminds me of when she wasn’t still confident in what she was doing.

Liz repositions her legs, glances over my shoulder and asks me.

“But you know, Cry-chan, is the mask fine? I can do without it though.”

“...... Aaah. It is fine, that kind of thing. It is kind of worthless compared to this.”

“Kusukusu... Aren’t you trying to put up with it, maybe?”

This is why childhood friend is... Just as how well I know about Sytry, Liz also knows me really well.

When Liz is laughing and poking at my shoulder, I frown and turn around.

“... I am not. I certainly wanted that Relic but this one is much more important.”

“...... Th, thank you, very much. Really, I couldn’t predict this at all, Cry-san. ... I will make sure to make it up for you, definitely.”

You don’t need to make it up or anything, it isn’t even my money...

“You don’t need to worry about that. And I still haven’t won, it is too soon to say thank you.”

“......... Yes.”

Sytry’s voice seems to be very touched. She must be very excited. Her usual white skin is red until her ears.

She probably wouldn’t have been so excited if I had bided for the mask.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Hahahahaha I knew it! You will bid to get Akasha now! But well even if you didn’t bid éclair could bid up to a billion so you would have lost.

Let’s see how Cry will fare in this battle!

A huge thank you for Eric for buying me a coffee right when I started to think I should slow down my release schedule a bit (2 part release back to back and 1 day break).

So will keep releasing with tha schedule a little bit longer (hopefully until the end of the arc and then slow down my pace).

But be glad as the goal was reached, you will have a release every day until tuesday yeaaaah...

Tchao à plus!

He means that normally he can see what is happening around him or what the other think about something. He isn’t really blind.

Kusukusu: Sneaky laught.
